Submit to the seduction of Chocolate and jasmine!

Ingredients:

3 cups flour: all-purpose, whole pastry, or spelt

1 tablespoon baking powder

Good pinch salt

11/2 cups sugar

1 cup natural margarine spread (health food stores)

4 eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

3/4 cup strong jasmine tea (2 jasmine tea bags or 2 teaspoons jasmine tea leaves

steeped in boiling water and strained)

1/4 rum or brandy

⅓ cocoa powder

⅓ cup sugar

1 tablespoon coffee powder

2 tablespoons oil

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and set aside. In a food processor, cream the sugar and margarine spread until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, pulsing each time only until incorporated. Add the vanilla. Add the flour mixture alternately with the tea, starting and ending with the flour mixture, pulsing only 2 to 3 times after each addition. Pour the batter into a greased and floured 10-inch spring form cake pan or tube pan, leaving about 1 cup batter in the processor. Add the cocoa, sugar, coffee, and oil to the food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times, until just combined. Pour the cocoa mixture gently and evenly on top of the batter, then swirl it with a knife to get a marbled effect. Bake 1 hour or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Invert on a rack to cool. Makes 16 ample servings.
